Viagra, though successful world wide, may not be suitable for many men for treating erectile dysfunction or ED, a frustrating and embarrassing sexual disorder which can affect men of any age. Erectile dysfunction is sometimes popularly referred to as ‘impotence’.

When a man can not have an erection, or can not sustain erection for the full tenure of sexual intercourse, it is said that he is suffering from ED. Though this can be a temporary phenomenon, caused by psychological factors like performance anxiety, relationship problem, stress, anger, etc, when the problem persists for a long time, men usually seek medical help.

However, Viagra though has now become a household name sometimes is not preferred by men who are looking for alternative therapies. Known as a category of PDE-5 inhibitor, Levitra is the brand name of yet another drug used widely for treating ED. Levitra is used not only for causing and sustaining penile erection but also for enhancing the dimensions of the penis, for improving sexual enjoyment. It does so by increasing blood flow to the penile area, the primary method of inducing erection.

ED can occur due to several factors including age, injury, chronic ailments like diabetes, etc. in cases of physical injury, more than the psychological trauma, the shock may affect some nerves in that area which cause reduced blood flow to the penile region. Levitra is a successful drug to treat such conditions. This FDA-approved pharmaceutical formulation not only brings significant improvement in conditions of erectile dysfunction, it is considered to have several beneficial effects in the treatment of diabetes as well as prostrate cancer.

The drug has undergone several clinical trials and has been tested on thousands of men over about fifty trials. Like any other prescription drug, Levitra is not without its expected side effects which include: runny nose and headache but these are transient and disappear soon. Though rarely reported, one of the most serious side effects of Levitra is prolonged erection which continues for several hours. Sometimes the patient can not differentiate between blue and green.

The effect of Levitra is said to last for 6 hours. In this regard, many consider it to be better than Viagra. It works by relaxing the penile muscles and blood vessels causing erection. To be taken orally once a day, Levitra can maintain erection for as long as it takes to complete a sexual intercourse. The best part about Levitra is that it does not trigger sexual urge or cause any automatic erection. Though not a permanent cure for impotence, Levitra has given fresh hope to many men round the world as they are now enjoying sexual pleasures like never before. The effect of Levitra would subside after intercourse. This has been found to be extremely convenient for most men.

These types of drugs have been regarded as a breakthrough in the world of medical science and its inventors have even been rewarded with Nobel Prize for their beneficial invention. Men round the world have tried this drug, which is available only through a doctors’ prescription.
